Can I complain about the apparent washout for Sunday that will kill the trip to King's Dominion I had planned with my son and 8 of his friends? No good going up to Hershey either, apparently a monsoon from Maine to Alabama is on the maps. Would like that front to slow down or speed up by a day either side. This blows.

This past weekend was supposed to see lots of rain too.  I wouldn't let a 4-day forecast of a wash-out in June change my plans. In the end, there'll probably be a swift moving line of storms to disrupt things for an hour (5 minutes out here).

Ended up deciding to bag the trip. Had three other parents driving and was up to 10 kids and didn't want to try it hoping for a 6 hour window and still be facing potentially driving back in severe weather on 95 in Sunday afternoon/evening traffic. 

 

Stupid weather gods. We will try again for late August, which will likely be enough to summon a hurricane weekend of Aug 27/28. You all are pre-warned...

dealing with the same thing.  daughters girl scout event, that was rescheduled from a previous weekend washout, is sunday.  supposed to go zip lining.  they say they are open as long as it isn't thunder&lightning but who wants to dangle 30 ft up in the rain if we get showers instead of woostorms.

Why do people like pockmarked cars and trees falling on people's houses so much around here?  We don't live in the plains where a tornadic or severe hail storm can occur with little to no damage.  We live in a place where if a tornado touches down, generally speaking, stuff gets destroyed or people get hurt.  I've never understood that. 

 

Just seems very selfish to me to root for damaging, severe storms just to satisfy someone's curiosity or weather nerdness without regard for people's property or anything else...

Well you are posting this on a forum for weather enthusiasts. It's obvious that no one here is rooting directly for people getting hurt or property being destroyed and sure you may be rooting for it indirectly by being enthusiastic about the weather that causes such events but that's Mother Nature and she's gonna do whatever the hell she wants. No one has any effect on the outcome so I see no problem being interested/enthused by destructive weather.

That's a fair point... it just seems strange to cheer (and hope) for it to me.  I doubt they're as enthusiastic about it if it's headed right for their property, but let it touch down in someone else's neighborhood and they're just thrilled.  Give me lots of T&L and I'm a happy camper.  A couple times I've seen storms headed my way that looked like they could drop some legit hail and all I could think about was not wanting to submit the insurance claim if my stuff got damaged... let alone a tornado.

 

I dunno... I'm a snow guy.  lol...

Blizzards kill people. Sometimes a lot of people. Just sayin'.

I don't see a lot of home owners cheering for it.

Tomorrow is last day here in Jackson Hole/Yellowstone area, and just in time, may hit 80 in town according to forecasts. Been an awesome week, today and yesterday hit 70/low 70's, 60's rest of week. 30's every am except today, mid 40's.

Back to son's place in Summit County CO for a couple days then I'll drag myself back to the HHH.

Oh, had a thundershower in Yellowstone yesterday and got into some soft hail/graupel type stuff....pretty neat.
